Well that’s the year done.

Positives: other than Sangare I don’t think we picked up any other serious injuries.

Negatives: We are soft without the ball, don’t put pressure on the other team, invite them to March upfield and have no aggression in our defence. With the ball, we are totally toothless (partly because of the defence), we look like we don’t have a plan, our players are less than fully committed (see how they don’t push each other or back up the man with the ball) and our playing roster is genuinely bottom 4 standard.

I know we have injuries to a few more important players, but that is showing how poor the squad is. GH has been negligent for years to allow us to get into this position, this doesn’t happen overnight. He has an almighty task on to put us back into a respectable position.

I don’t care if anyone thinks this is knee jerk to another defeat, it’s not, this has been years in the making, we are a million miles off where we used to be in every possible respect.

Strange decision. Just bringing him on for the last 10 minutes and then playing him at dummy half.
Hooley looked decent.

.

Credit to Leigh for putting in a serious shift. Hope they enjoy the day next week.

No surprises from Leeds. Not good enough in the areas that matter. Need serious upgrades in the spine but that's old news. On top, we have plenty who look good in a team playing well but not a single one with the stones to turn things around.

I am pleased for Hooley that he put his horror show behind him.

Well I can't wait for this season to be over for many reasons. Our attacking system is so frustrating to watch we just stay in a arm wrestle with teams but never compound pressure on teams players don't have the mentality to break teams down which is a hard watch. I also can't wait for this season to be over due to watching the same inconsistent and horrendous officiating of Super League matches honestly the reffing standard in this country is a joke officials make calls up as they go along. One thing that boils my blood is video refs getting things wrong when they have the technology to help get the correct decisions how can the Ipape try be given when he's losing the ball onto a Leeds defenders leg therfore he's not in control of the ball so it's a knock on but the try is still awarded. But in the same game O'Connor's second try wasn't given as he was deemed to have lost control of the ball. Game's going backwards with current officiating. Only postive from the game is that Hooley played well imo cleaned up nicely at full back for us and added a bit of pace at the back as well. We won't make play offs now (doubt we would have anyway) I hope Rohan plays the likes of Hooley, Sinfield & Ruan for rest of season now and just finish as high as possible and I hope he is backed financially by Hethrington heading into the 2024 campaign as our playing roster drastically needs it.

I don’t think that’s kneejerk, the squad isn’t good enough and it needs to be rectified.

GH needs to give RS the squad he wants for next year.

A severe lack of quality and I don't know how that's going to be rectified before the start of next season. Not much else to say really.

It's a fair reflection of where the playing squad is currently and that needs fixed. We have a huge amount of cap space plus in all probability 2 marquee spots (actually 3 with the rule change) Let's see what happens but at the moment you can understand why many fans are concerned.

We need 2 halfbacks it will be a tall order, maybe it’s time for Paul Caddick to get his hands in his pockets?

We will finish 10th and without any further recruitment announcements that little boo of discontent at the end today will get louder.

What a pathetic performance that was, embarrassing.

Clueless and half d from the the top down, Hetherington, Smith and the collection of losers on the pitch

Clubs fast becoming a laughing stock

Weirdly I think the boos were for the ref!

He didn’t cost us the game at all

Not a good performance again, and not unexpected really.

We look so disjointed at times.

Thought Oledski, Holroyd, Lisone aside from the sin bin were pretty good and got stuck in.

McDonald always tries hard but the team does nothing to help put him away.

Hooley at the back was good and looked threatening on attack a couple of times.

We need new signings and a good off season. I know Leigh are doing well this year but to get beaten by a team including Leeds rejects again at home is embarrassing.

I can't say they are not trying.
I can't say they are not playing for the coach.
I can say that they are poorly coached and have been all season whoever has been at halfback.
I can say that we have no leadership on the field
The season is done and I'm no longer sire I would want Smith in charge next season.
I realise I am in the minority but I would have Powell in a heartbeat

Christ no not Powell, he’s living off the back of one good season 6 years ago, and he’s absolutely ruined Warrington

In Fairness to Leigh they’ve embarrassed a few sides with their rejects in the squad

Really hope Smith dosnt really believe the rubbish he's just spouted...’A lot to like' about that performance, he needs sacked on the spot if he believes that

It does feel every bit as a low point as the Bradford cup game. It looks like a very long road ahead and that's even after the last 3 years of 'development'. I vow to myself though not to get as caught up in the frustration if it all because it all feels inevitable, Smith is hanging by a thread and there's no drive above him to make this club any more than a profitable entity.

Feels like there’s a lack of honesty about Leeds first team and those involved in it to me. I know we get the media soundbites, but the lack of consistency or improvement makes me think there are problems behind closed doors.

Only T Briscoe today bud. You had 2 ex Leigh players.

I realise it's not a popular suggestion. He did well at Leeds earlier in his career and he turned Fev into a team that was challenging for promotion
He transformed Cas from a yo yo side into League leaders. His teams generally play an exciting brand of Rugby. Yes he has failed to get over the line In finals but we are a million miles from that atm.

Leeds fans singing about being' on our way to Old Trafford' in recent games. Certainly heard it when you played at Stains.

Any chance of letting us know which Old Trafford you mean as you're so poor you've spent most of the season outside the play off spots and your crap football club got relegated last season so they won't be pitching up at Old Trafford either.

Powell is dreadful. Smith might not be the answer either as it looks but Powell showed in the last few months how a coach can create a toxic unhappy environment.

Shut up dckhead.
